This Sunday, for the sixth consecutive year, hundreds of people have concentrated on homage to migrants whose bodies were sunk in the sea or fallen on the different migratory routes of the Mediterranean, one of the solidarity days 'Here we just want to be human', framed in the Cartagena Think program carried out by the Department of Culture of the City of Cartagena.

The event, which took place at the dock of the whale's tail, was attended by the Councilor for Social Services, Mercedes García, and other members of the corporation such as the mayor of United Podemos IU Equo, Aurelia García, and the Councilor for MC, Arantxa Perez

During the day, various events were held, such as reading a manifesto, whose presentation text indicated that migrants who died in the Mediterranean “played their lives and lost it when they looked for something as legitimate and fair as peace, freedom, work and A decent life for them and their families.

We do not want, in any way, to accept as normal the tragic end of so many innocent lives.

We will assume our responsibility as human beings, honoring and dignifying their memory, their lives and their truncated dreams. â€

There were also poems and phrases that summed up the hardships and difficulties of displaced people and musical performances.

The concentration was organized by the associations Circle of Silence, Accem, Red Cross, Murcia Hosts, Alraso, Fund.

Cepaim, La Huertecica, Rascasa, Ghanaian Association, Malian Association, Columbares, Adult Education Group Carmen Conde and Department of Social Services and Culture.
